Looking at your GP9B's frame with the shell
removed you will see two groups of wires, one
group contains all red wires, the other black
and white wires. The red wires are the power
or hot wires, the other group is the ground
wires. Gently move both bundles out of the
way for now, we will come back to them soon.
Towards the middle of the frame there are
three screws, one by the front and two located
towards the rear of the frame. These screws
secure the fuel tank to the frame, remove these
screws and place them aside. In your kit locate
the LCRX switch assembly, (switch, four wires
and a black plug) insert the switch facing down
with wires up and use small screws provided
The LCRX circuit board is a sophisticated electronic device and is
Note!
extremely sensitive to static electricity. Please avoid all physical
contact with the components on the LCRX.

the bottom facing the back. There are two short
bosses on the top of the platform, one is very
close to the edge and should face towards the

it from it's static guard protection.
